Hold onto you hats. This is going to be a great week for the Fediverse.

For years now to most people, the Fediverse has meant Mastodon. The fact there are thousands of Mastodon servers that all talk to each other is kind of a mind blower, but we've figured it out.

This week, thanks to Meta, people are discovering Pixelfed, another Fediverse app that likewise is deployed on many different servers that all talk to each other.

And they all talk to your Mastodon account too!

BOOM 💥!!!

So, go get yourself a Pixelfed account. You can get it on the main pixelfed.social (pixelfed.social/) or better get it on one of the other Pixelfed servers, like pixey.org (pixey.org/) administered by @stux of mstdn.social fame. Or pick from this list:

fedidb.org/software/pixelfed

Just do it. It's fun. 🙂

And play around. Post some pictures. See if you can follow your Pixelfed account from your Mastodon account. What else can you do? Explore. Follow people. Enjoy.

@mastodonmigration @stux Unfortunately Pixey only allows 15 characters in the username. Won’t be using that.

@sourdoughstereo @mastodonmigration I think that's Pixelfed's default 😉 I didn't change that

@stux @mastodonmigration @dansup Ah ok, thanks, but how come it’s possible on pixelfed.social?

@sourdoughstereo @mastodonmigration @dansup That is a good question!

Maybe a custom config var, If that's the case i also shall add it to Pixey and Gram 😉
